The main reason that people breed fainting goats nowadays is because of the oddity of it and the notoriety it brings them. I live in the Tennessee county where the goats were first discovered, so there are quite a few people who raise them around here. They get quite a bit of attention from the media at certain times of the year, and you'd be surprised at the number of people who travel here just to see them.
